To start my first full work week, I'm celebrating by leaving one of my crutches at home! The physical therapist said that I should transition as long as I am not limping at each stage. So over the weekend, I practiced on one crutch. And it worked out OK.
It's much much easier to get around on one crutch instead of two. I can carry things, like papers or my lunch, with the other hand. I'm also much faster, and going up stairs is easier as well.
Tomorrow is the three-week post-op date. I'm pretty sure that being down to one crutch just three week after surgery is a win.
